Over 70% of Americans are concerned about AI’s existential risks, polling shows. A Quinnipiac University national poll strongly suggests that Americans’ fears about AI now go well beyond job losses and energy cost hikes because of new data centers. Fears about AI threatening humanity have gone mainstream. The poll, released Wednesday, found that 73% of Americans are either very concerned (38%) or somewhat concerned (35%) that future AI systems could threaten human survival, while just 25% are either not so concerned (14%) or not concerned at all (11%). More than half of respondents (52%) said they are more concerned that.
